Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19825328A1] The invention relates to an arrangement (1) of a conveyor section (2) for containers (A, B, C, D, E) which are conveyed on said conveyor section and which are to be filled with items (3) or with a bulk material through a filling funnel (5), at a filling station (4). The containers are arranged in a filling position. According to the invention, the conveyor section (2) is configured with at least one circulating synchronous belt drive or chain drive (6) with its own intermittent actuating drive (7) and spaced-out container engagement knobs (8) in the area directly before, at and/or after the filling station (4). Said engagement knobs (8) ensure that the containers (A, B, C, D, E) arriving on the conveyor section (2) with their tops open are individually handled at a faster rate as they are moved into the filling position and, after filling, as they are moved out of the filling position, and can optionally be returned to the conveyor section (2) at the output end.
